Settlers Rights.

Commissioner Sparks in letter to a
special agent in Montana says: Uner date
of the 18th ultimo you reported John D.
Sears of Glendive, Montana territory,
trespasser to the extent of ten cords of
wood cut from public land which Sears
claimed to have cut as an 'actual settler
for domestic purposes" You state that
Sears is a shoemaker and has shop and
residence at Glendive, end has a family.
You are therefore instructed that you are
not expected to report cases of this char
acter. Your explanation of the present
report is that there are large number of
petty trespasserswhose aggregate depre-
dations are considerable, and that it is un-
necessary for them to resort to public tim
Der for fuel, because coal is abundant and
cheap. Notwithstanding this explanation,
] must advise you that it is not the policy
of this Office and department, nor would it
be creditable to the administration, to
prosecute citizens of the territories for
taking small quantities of wood from va
cant public lands for their own domestic
purposes, or for taking from such lands
the timber necessary for ordinary in
provements on their claims, and not for
purposes of sale and speculation.
Mr., Spaaks concludes as follows: You
will hereafter devote your attention ex-
clusively to the important cases that are
submitted to you for examination, and
you will In no way interfere with settlers
taking the necessary timber for their fam

PARIS. July 26.-The novel side of the
character of an American girl abroad, is
disclosed to the public view by packet
of letters found in the possession of Pran-
zini, the murder of Marie Regnault, re-
Gently convicted. The writer, the daugh-
ter of New York banker, became ac-
quainted with the adventurer, while
spending the fall OF 1886 in Paris The
acquaintance soon ripened into something
warmer. There seems no reasonable
doubt that the murdered Marie Regnault,
was planned and executed with the pur-
pose Of obtaining sufficient money to car
ry the italian adventurer to New York to
Join his sweetheart.
